"but if money is not a concern just go on something more expensive and more qualitative because this screen is far from perfect"

"mine had two dead pixels in the lower left of the screen but most of the time i can't even find them when i look for them never mind in normal use"

"great viewing angles for landscape and portrait viewing not one dead pixel across all my 3 screens additional two bought from amazon sept 2015 "

"only problem was that the displayport cable was missing from the package said to be included in the blurb "

"16:10 monitors are all too rare only negative about this beautiful display is the lack of 120hz"

"i can't notice anything but then i'm really not a fan of glossy screens"

"i'm using it besides an iiyama 4k and a macbookpro retina and text blur is just terrible"

"not worth the hassle of sending it back but a slight disappointment"

"wanderful colors and most notably is 16:10 which is a black swan in those days where the monitor market is plagued by those terrible cinema screens"

"purchased it on sale colour is good not great but at £220 what can you really gripe against"

"it's also usable in a vertical configuration if that works better for you"

"also because frequently this results in obtaining an even worse screen"

"i have to say i'm astounded by the visual quality of this monitor i can stare at it for hours without getting a headache as it does not produce any noticeable glare and there is no presence of ghosting"

"there is quite a few people report the same fault in many forums i have read but dell don't seem to have recognised or supplied a compatibility fix"

"i was extremely skeptical when i was recommended this monitor due to them being refurbs"

"apart from the insane amount of cardboard packaging that came with this monitor and the delivery guy kicking it through the doorway it is a pretty great monitor and arrived overnight"

"i also found the screen was very bright and had to turn the brightness down so i sold it at a small loss"

"the only slight drawbacks are the lack of an hdmi port and that it's so nice it makes the screen on my imac look old and tired"

"only 4 stars because mine has 2 dead pixels near the edges now named tyler and marla very hard even impossible to notice most of the time but still taking a star away it's a £200 monitor afterall not some cheap tat"

"however: photo editors please take note: i used these for some time then got some complaints that all my pictures were coming out too blue"

"ridiculous levels of not just ips glow but also very severe backlight bleeding from three of four corners"

"i was concerned about the higher lag rate than newer monitors but i've not noticed anything in general use or playback for hd videos"

"it might ok for simple graphics work videogames and movies but if your workflow is text heavy avoid"

"well worth the money if you insist on a proper resolution for a 24 inch monitor 1920x1024 just isn't suitable excellent build with some great features recommended if you don't mind paying a little more for the higher resolution instead of this hd standard nonsense"

"seems like this model has been a constant lottery for many of us some panels perfectly calibrated some with massive green shifts some like mine rev a01 have pwm flicker some don't flicker at all"

"single display but with the two monitors next to each other the colour difference is just too high to cope with"

"to control the brightness of this monitor dell uses a technology called pwm which is a cheap method to control the visible brightness or average light output in effect this means the backlight is working like a strobe light at full power levels directly into your eyes but you dont percieve that brightness because its only flashing briefly above 120hz usually so too fast for you to notice but some people can still feel the difference and it makes them temporarily ill"

"here is how: first things first: i don't take any responsibility if you void your warranty or damaged your device due to use misusing this info"

"the only slight quibble is it comes with vga and dvi leads but not displayport"

"it comes with two cables vga and dvi and while the lack of inbuilt sound may be a problem for some just get the dell ax510 and mount it at the bottom and plug it into the dc out on the back of the screen the bass isn't as good as my actual sound system but it's perfect for streaming videos or tv gaming or light music where you aren't really going to notice that low cut off "

"the poor thing has been dragged all around the house but it's still as good as new"

"you need to reset the screen resolution from the desktop for best results the generic drivers in xp sp3 are quite adequate and include the 1920 x 1200 that this monitor needs for 16:10 "

"i plan to return it and purchase another flexscan as they are far and away superior to this cheap dell monitor"

"i have 3 bought at different times and 1 of them is a bit different from the others: slightly grainy anti glare coating and very slightly different colours"

"i have no requirement for gaming and only occasional video tv also in a way i was reluctant to buy another dell screen as this was to replace an earlier different model just out of guarantee that still works but takes about 10minutes to stop flickering on start up"

"very low reflection no visible ghosting that i can make out and the colours and contrast are perfect"

"last week it died completely and wouldn't show any graphics"

"decent size good resolution small bezel takes standard kettle plug no need for a power brick has 4 powered usb 2"

"very minimal backlight bleed not noticeable unless viewing a pure black background and to be expected within this price range"

"is a cold white mine run on a lower brightness and are barely warm although at factory setting and higher did get much warmer"

"not worth the hassle of sending it back but a slight disappointment"

"very minimal backlight bleed not noticeable unless viewing a pure black background and to be expected within this price range"

"*edit* shame it's a decent looking monitor it has put me off buying dell again i didn't want to take the chance of getting another dud so i bought two benq bl2411pt to go along with my eizo photo editing monitor which seem far superior to the dell i had bought both suffer from a little ips glow but nothing i can't deal with it's also worth noting the benq colour calibration was much better than the dell "

"only slight negative is a dead pixel towards the bottom left"

"nothing wrong with the monitor the amazon description is incorrect however as this does not have hdmi sockets"

"waste of time"

"chris m liaison desktops alienware monitors "

"the true measure is input lag for example:from the time you move your mouse to it moves on the screen is less than 16ms which according to some reviews you can find online are faster than a lot of 5ms tn screens"

"seems like this model has been a constant lottery for many of us some panels perfectly calibrated some with massive green shifts some like mine rev a01 have pwm flicker some don't flicker at all"

"particularly like the anti glare screen compared to my laptop the reduced strain on the eyes is huge"

"acting as a usb port is a real bonus for clearing cable clutter though i haven't tried to see whether you can run audio from one of the 4 usb outs to remove another cable that need to run back to the pc"

"maybe if dell had better qc i'd be using two dell u2412's along with my eizo even my dog could have seen that this monitor had crazy light bleed i'm not just being a picky customer"

"plus it's 1920×1200 which in this age of the wide screen boom is very refreshing not just for games but also when i have to switch h to programming mode"

"so far after a months use the monitor is working okay apart from the display port issue though that could be the cable"

"never again!"

"is a cold white mine run on a lower brightness and are barely warm although at factory setting and higher did get much warmer"

"display was easy to set up and presets out of the box just needed minor tweaking"

"i really want a second one of these to replace the old monitor i'm using as a second monitor at the moment but the price hasn't come down mush since i bought mine 2 years ago"

"poor show dell"

"only down the bloody box"

"this only arrived today and it is sitting side by side to a 24" imac with the same resolution"

"as a gamer multimedia user with no interest in 3d at all i chose image and colour quality of the dell ultrasharp and do not regret it as you're only going to be getting much over 60fps with an expensive dual card setup if you like to crank settings to max and the colours quality of a tn is going to be *nowhere near* this"

"i really want a second one of these to replace the old monitor i'm using as a second monitor at the moment but the price hasn't come down mush since i bought mine 2 years ago"

"i spend way too much time on the computer ok i rely on it for income "

"the build quality of this dell monitor is fantastic but the screen suffers from insane light bleed the bottom right corner looks like someone is shining at torch at it!"

"hint: when unpacking make sure the side handles of the outer box are pulled out otherwise the top insert of inner packing is difficult to lift out"

"yes i could send it back but getting upset over such a tiny thing just isn't cricket"

"it's one less thing that can go wrong"

"i plan to return it and purchase another flexscan as they are far and away superior to this cheap dell monitor"

"replaced a 23in apple cinema display and the bleed glow are comparable"

"as a gamer multimedia user with no interest in 3d at all i chose image and colour quality of the dell ultrasharp and do not regret it as you're only going to be getting much over 60fps with an expensive dual card setup if you like to crank settings to max and the colours quality of a tn is going to be *nowhere near* this"

"this monitor might have been ok 4 years ago nowadays it's just sub par"

"so far after a months use the monitor is working okay apart from the display port issue though that could be the cable"

"i have no hesitations in recommending it"

"i have to say i'm astounded by the visual quality of this monitor i can stare at it for hours without getting a headache as it does not produce any noticeable glare and there is no presence of ghosting"

"i'm not really sure that there is any way of avoiding this issue apart from buying two of these monitors at the same time and crossing your fingers"

"only slight negative is a dead pixel towards the bottom left"

"the colours can vary from being quite red and cold through to quite white and warm"

"be warned that there are eveident backlight bleedings in almost each one of those guys just google it "

"the only slight quibble is it comes with vga and dvi leads but not displayport"

"there seems to be no permanent solution"

"downsides are that there are no speakers and there's no hdmi though for a pc monitor i don't see either as a big problem"

"can't really add more"

"despite my having a 20 minute documented on line chat precisely regarding this what do i get a great monitor at first look but with no support from dell"

"i had to turn down the brightness on them both but besides that they're brilliant for graphics programming photography post processing and gaming"

"well worth the money if you insist on a proper resolution for a 24 inch monitor 1920x1024 just isn't suitable excellent build with some great features recommended if you don't mind paying a little more for the higher resolution instead of this hd standard nonsense"

"downsides are that there are no speakers and there's no hdmi though for a pc monitor i don't see either as a big problem"

"this would probably not be a problem in most circumstances i"

"i don't do games so can't comment on that"

"my lenovo thinkcentre only has displayport and vga so i had to use vga for a while till i got a displayport lead"

"will be looking at something better for photo critical work may even be the dell 2413"

"i have always used apple monitors at home as i'm a total mac geek"

"*edit* shame it's a decent looking monitor it has put me off buying dell again i didn't want to take the chance of getting another dud so i bought two benq bl2411pt to go along with my eizo photo editing monitor which seem far superior to the dell i had bought both suffer from a little ips glow but nothing i can't deal with it's also worth noting the benq colour calibration was much better than the dell "

"ips panels are far better to use through the day and it is noticeably easier to spend long periods of time on the computer than with my previous one"

"i would thoroughly recommend this monitor even over the 'newer' dell u2414h since they dropped the resolution to 1080p but there's the dell u2415 now it costs only a little bit more and i expect that is just as good but comes in a slimmer design and fixes one of my main problems with the u2412m lack of hdmi"

"i bought this monitor to compliment my 1 year old u2412m but unfortunately it came with a warm tint to the panel which made it impossible to calibrate with my existing model"

"ridiculous levels of not just ips glow but also very severe backlight bleeding from three of four corners"

"it seems a great size one of the reasons i chose it was for the extra length compared to most ratios "

"nothing wrong with the monitor the amazon description is incorrect however as this does not have hdmi sockets"

"it is very plain with a 1"

"i wander why general consumers doesn't just buy a tv + xbox instead of ruining the pc world"

"very disappointed by the inconsistency here dell will be opting for an asus pro art next time"

"there is quite a few people report the same fault in many forums i have read but dell don't seem to have recognised or supplied a compatibility fix"

"red a plethora of forums and it seemed like the problem basically existed and affected primarily laptop lcd screens for some time already"

"this isn't a problem with all dell monitors i suggest you buy the u2413 instead and keep the brightness above 20% unfortunately that monitor costs over £100 more"

"the usb hub is super convenient and i also got the dell ax510 soundbar since i wanted something compact i've reviewed that too so there's lots of opportunity for accessories"

"the format is entirely functional not just for widescreen movies "

"so a month old screen is faulty already"

"8 cm black bezel around a non reflective screen"

"i haven't been doing too much sensitive colour correction but for basic correction it has been good and you don't get too much fatigue using it over long periods"

"i have included a photograph of the problem that many people have reported online just search "u2412m warm tint""

"i calibrated my screen with comparing it with mac book air screen relatively with the same brightness and in the dark"

"it is possible to correct for this using colour profiles but the result is not perfect"

"i'd highly reccomend this to anybody!"

"this leads to all kinds of stress on you the buyer"

"if you do gaming 4k video or graphics work then buy a more expensive monitor"

"any dead pixels have to be in the centre of the screen"

"i still haven't found that driver but windows 7 automatically installed the correct generic driver so it's working like a dream"

"i bought this as an "imperfect model" but it was pretty much perfect except for one dead pixel"

"my only problem is the placement of the headphone jack i have to awkwardly reach behind the monitor to plug it in and out it would have been much more convenient on the side or closer to the front"

"the only negative i can think of for this monitor is that the speakers aren't great"

"the screen has a matte finish to it so unlike those glossy screens you won't see your own reflection which is good news for some"

"poor picture quality dead pixel poor sharpness"

"no matter what i try to adjust on the monitor it does not work it is the worst monitor i have ever owned"

"my one very insignificant issue is that i find the adjustment buttons on the right hand side a little stiff to press"

"the only mild downside is the quality of the built in speakers but to be honest most people who would want good sound wouldn't expect it in a monitor like this one"

"only downside is it only comes with a lame vga lead so a star missing for that"

"but after pressing enter it skipped a source input on screen and after another tap it was ready to go on my desk and have been using it all evening minus the silly mistake on my part"

"when i need to clear some space and push my keyboard towards the back of the desk it tends to always catch on this base which has now become quite scratched as a consequence"

"worse it failed with toxic smelling fumes that hung around for days although mercifully not in flames"

"instructions vague"

"the menu system is a bit fiddly as in it is not as easy or intuitive to use and it can be a chore using it"

"only real niggle is that the on off button is on the side and not bottom so it doesnt work too well in my multi monitor setup"

"the only negative issue at all is that its lighter than my other monitors with a smaller footprint so might be an issue for overactive kids"

"this is a dent monitor no problems in 18 months"

"anyone looking for a good monitor that's not some ridiculous price this is it"

"i almost thought i got a broken product the first time i turn it on after unboxing"

"awkward inputs if you having to move the monitor and plug in a lot"

"04 lts without any configuration voodoo"

"brilliant picture low lag deep blacks and vivid colours"

"this screen however has a nice matte finish to the screen with just a glossy bezel"

"i usually use two monitors both at work and at home but this large led has more than enough space to be used as a single monitor which is my current home set up i'm very pleased with the graphic display: brightness sharpness resolution colours and contrast is excellent my only gripe would be the stand"

"the colours aren't right and i get severe ghosting especially with anything black"

"is not height adjustable and depending if i'm really hammering the keyboard the monitor moves a little but these faults are certainly within bearable limits i would recommend this monitor to anyone thinking of giving the benq brand a first try"

"the only issue i had was that it will not auto detect hdmi out of the box and it won't allow you to use the menu to change that until you have plugged it into a machine"

"with it's black glossy plastic it doesn't look as elegant as some other displays but that's not a reflection of it's capability as a display more the aesthetic appeal if you're at all bothered by that"

"this was completely unnecessary and unfair to the seller and was only due to the benq support being insufficiently comprehensive which caused me days of brain racking"

"i have not used benq since the late nineties and i am astounded by the way the have made leaps and bounds with the their products"

"after second day of using this monitor my eyes were strained and i started experiencing headache and so sadly i had to return"

"after second day of using this monitor my eyes were strained and i started experiencing headache and so sadly i had to return"

"brought as my monitor suddenly failed"

"i was not expecting this monitor to be as good as it is viewing angles are great colours are vibrant and the bezel isn't that big ive seen bigger lets get straight into the pros and cons pros: good viewing angles great vibrant colouring easy to use menu cons: the buttons are on the side meaning a multi monitor setup is awkward if you want to change the settings around attracts lots of dust and fingerprints all in all this is a great monitor but if your looking for gaming then i suggest you go elsewhere as only 60hz good be a slight issue"

"i had not overloaded the speaker and it was not a cable issue as i used both a dvi and hdmi cable both with the same buzz"

"the build quality is resonable but very worryingly if you put a little pressure on the screen the material in front of the pixel screen actually warps"

"the low blue led also stops the effects of blue light from leds such as upsetting your sleeping pattern and being harsh on your eyes after prolong periods of use"

"if you are lazy like me and hoping to use it to work from your bed note that if you increase the font size massively in your word documents it becomes pixelated so probably isn't very good for this purpose"

"i had to replace this to start off with because there was a stuck pixel it was red and really annoyed me"

"as with all monitors the menu navigation leaves a little to be desired with the small buttons on the right hand side but then how often do you actually change your monitor settings once it is set up how you want?"

"first problem was on initial setup as without any actual input connected to this monitor via dvi or vga ports you can't change the input method to hdmi"

"i would still recommend this brand to other users despite these two flaws one of which is small and might not occur with all products"

"i don't game and haven't done too much fine work on pictures yet so not given a very stern test"

"i have 4 of these and not a single error"

"the 2 new monitors both came with a broken pixel but i was able to fix them on my own google "fix stuck pixel" if this happens very simple fix "

"have had it for just under 2 years now never had a single problem with it"

"there is no built in speaker for the model we bought"

"monitor is pretty wobbly that’s my only complaint"

"it's not the most fully featured monitor but its full hd resolution 3 inputs is fine for the majority of users me included"

"after accepting that i realised why this monitor was so cheap because it's a cheap monitor"

"large bezel"

"however they accepted my complaint and traced my original monitor now repaired and returned this to me"

"if you are lazy like me and hoping to use it to work from your bed note that if you increase the font size massively in your word documents it becomes pixelated so probably isn't very good for this purpose"

"replaced a g2420hdbl which was still in good working order but had a couple of marks through use over 4+ years"

"plain matte finish would be better"

"my only complaint is the awkward mains on off switch on the side"

"turned down the brightness and contrast so the power consumption will also be lower"

"lovely looking screen i've took a star off as takes a couple of seconds to turn on if you switch it on but that could be bacause of energy saving i don't know just slightly bugs me"

"get some cheap logitec speakers to improve the sound"

"now that's a little daft i reckon"

"the display doesn't show signs of use mabye noticing more light bleed not sure if it was there to begin with"

"if you just need a cheap replacement or want a cheap multi monitor set up then this monitor will do the job for you"

"either i had set my expectations too high or the producer of some youtube reviews understanding of "awesome" and mine were miles apart"

"my only complaint is its lack of auto power off when my pc is turned off most monitors will flash up to say signal lost and a minute later will go to sleep this monitor doesn't seem to do that meaning you can't just set your pc to shut down and walk away you have to turn the monitor off to"

"is not height adjustable and depending if i'm really hammering the keyboard the monitor moves a little but these faults are certainly within bearable limits i would recommend this monitor to anyone thinking of giving the benq brand a first try"

"this monitor lacks a couple of things as mentioned above but for it's price you probably wont get a better one so if your budget is not bigger than it's price and you don't mind you can't rotate it then do not hesitate and buy it you wont regret"

"although its weight is very heavy cons: the factory default color settings is way way off"

"i can't tell the difference with my partner's dell ultrasharp although i'm no expert the price seriously it's really cheap low input lag some nice presets which i toyed with before reverting to the default profile which i find just fine multiple inputs with auto swicthing pretty standard nowadays but you'll be happy to know you don't have to touch anything when you switch from a dvi pc to an hdmi laptop for example"

"i had not overloaded the speaker and it was not a cable issue as i used both a dvi and hdmi cable both with the same buzz"

"one thing i would warn about"

"was skeptical at first when looking into this product but when it arrived it easily delivered from it's price tag"

"unless you want to spend a lot more cash you probably cant go wrong here"

"however beware setting it up!"

"either i had set my expectations too high or the producer of some youtube reviews understanding of "awesome" and mine were miles apart"

"it is indeed full hd but initially runs not quite fill screen"

""low brightness" button on bottom right is too easy to press accidentally"

"this wasn't explained in the manual and had me confused for a few minutes"

"it's tinny and underpowered but ok for the odd video clip or whatever"

"i really can't complain about this screen it gives me everything i need for a cheap price"

"i have not been able to get the speakers working despite connecting to my laptop via hdmi this hasn't been a problem as the speakers in my laptop provide the audio"

"nothing is wrong with the screen no dead pixels no delay has good colours and it has lasted for ages"

"it is nice and robust quite lightweight and the black bezel surrounding the screen is small and unobtrusive"

"image clarity is incredible and the colour spectrum is something else"

"***note to anyone with xbox or playstation*** this monitor is hdcp compliant meaning your console will work with it"

"three different inputs d sub dvi hdmi even conveniently coincide with cables from three existing computers w2000 linux linux which had previously shared 2 large crt monitors with cable swapping"

"i'm still giving it 5 stars forever because a lot of monitors at this price don't have hdmi input or speakers"

"the base of the monitor is a large oval black glossy plastic disc which sticks out in front of the monitor"

"the packaging was great and not hard to open it protected the product perfectly so there's no need to worry about packaging"

"i guess they're nice to have as backup too but don't rely on the speakers"

"you don't loose any sound quality from connecting speakers through the headphone jack as some seem to have that impression"

"the built in eyecare which lowers the blue in the monitor display is a need for late night gamers and works so much better than the downloadable softwares available like flux"

"i was a little suspicious when i found the cd was only an instruction book not an installer but the screen at least came on ok after i had managed to adjust the resolution"

"the build quality is resonable but very worryingly if you put a little pressure on the screen the material in front of the pixel screen actually warps"

"controls are a little clunky but performance is decent"

"not height adjustable"

"the only bad thing i can say about this product is that the speakers are pretty awful about a decade ago i bought some portable speakers for £1 that worked better than the ones on this"

"major mistake as now i can't seem to find a stand for this"

"i had the added problem that my laptop needs a converter to connect to vga and the monitor just doesn't seem to see a signal unless it's a straight connection"

"not happy but im lucky to have a husband that could make something to fit so didnt have to go through the whole return procedure"

"as you'd predict the image was not great quality as it had been stretched"

"audio output can go in via hdmi or aux input which i like but the speakers are only really good enough for speech video calls perhaps?"

"however the speakers are absolute pants : i mean they are bad real bad and they are rear facing!"

"t made electrical noises and the screen would flicker on and off due to power being lost"

"the new one is just about okay but it isn't dead straight"

"no complex setup or hassle to deal with"

"the only real downside for this monitor is that the colours are just not"

"i booted up and after choosing hdmi in the monitor settings you need to tell the monitor you are in hdmi mode or it tells you you have no leads attached"

"got this today hdmi in to the ps4 and this while i wait for my new pc to turn up no signal"

"as it was a birthday present i can't even get it returned as the month period is lost"

"i gave the workstation it stands upon a "bump" and indeed it wobbled"

"this monitor is lovely white is white not a light tone of yellow"

"we planned to return it but it was too big to handle when busy"

"than from the manufacturer who must have been aware that no sound could be a problem"

"so you shouldn't worry too much about their support if you need it"

"i learned far more from the amazon benq problem forum about updating drivers etc"

"the only real negative is the lack of labels for the buttons on the side of the monitor this requires a bit of trial and error to find what you need"

"other than that i've had no other issues with these monitors"

"the built in speakers are actually very good with frequency response being ok but no rumbling or distortion"

"only one minor complaint i have a dead pixel but it was just the one and was too close to the edge of the screen and so benq would not replace the monitor"

"cons: all bearing in mind that i am giving this monitor 5 stars none of these should prevent you from buying this monitor unless it's a feature you really need or want"

"the only downside to this is the screen brightness 250cd m2 which is a little low in a dark room"

"i haven't had any trouble with picture lag most likely due to the 2ms response time"

"ok the speakers are perhaps not the best in the world but for me that is not an issue"

"negatives: poor quality speakers very reduced bass excessive mid range "

"the sound just isn't that good"

"as with all monitors the menu navigation leaves a little to be desired with the small buttons on the right hand side but then how often do you actually change your monitor settings once it is set up how you want?"

"just a warning i got really bad eye strain after the first couple of hours sitting in front of it"

"i've not had any problems so far except for when i turned my monitor on i had a 'stuck' pixel which is not much of a problem to fix as it is not a dead pixel so i won't have to rma it yet"

"no matter what i try to adjust on the monitor it does not work it is the worst monitor i have ever owned"

"was ok but thought that sound would be linked to it but does not appear so"

"my one very insignificant issue is that i find the adjustment buttons on the right hand side a little stiff to press"

"i am not a sound buff but the speakers now seem quite adequate to me even with the volume at 50%"

"excerpt i lost the hand book and trying to get the speakers working"

"it is very annoying that a"

"i was using it as my second monitor for my macbook pro and also the screen for my gaming consoles"

"i was planning on getting acer g246 247 at first but due to various changes in price it was no go"

"for gaming its awful"

"make no mistake the speakers are no better than a laptop and have no base"

"if you are using hdmi to connect to your pc you may notice a border or even a lack of display quality"

"not a gamer so can't report on that"

"i cannot verify that because i don't use the monitor for gaming"

"on screen menu is somewhat difficult to use"

"the seller did exchange it but this made no difference"

"speaker quality is poor but i always connect via a speaker system"

"the next one also had a stuck pixel but it didn't show up as badly"

"one ha a blurred screen i replaced everything buy the monitor"

"11 months in this monitor started to have an intermittent hum it has been returned under warrenty other than this issue i have zero complaints for the price"

"***note to anyone with xbox or playstation*** this monitor is hdcp compliant meaning your console will work with it"

"t made electrical noises and the screen would flicker on and off due to power being lost"

"poor design i feel"

"if you are lazy like me and hoping to use it to work from your bed note that if you increase the font size massively in your word documents it becomes pixelated so probably isn't very good for this purpose"

"bad customer service!"

"it offers all of the adjustments you could ask for and probably some you didn't and will never touch "

"this was completely unnecessary and unfair to the seller and was only due to the benq support being insufficiently comprehensive which caused me days of brain racking"

"and no this does not overclock very well at all all i acheived was 65 hz instead of 60 seen monitors go from 60 to 93 before soo i was kinda disappointed but these things are amazing anyway"

"benq seem to have taken a step back with the controls as they are press button as opposed to touch and the controls are down the side which make it difficult to use them"

"i've been using this for low power gaming and day to day pc use"

"put doubts aside and buy"
